| Additional information |
Tajikistan's diram denominations were introduced in 2000 when the somoni replaced the Russian ruble as the national currency — a transition delayed nearly a decade after independence by economic collapse and a brutal civil war that killed an estimated 50,000 people and displaced over a million. The 2 diram, worth a fraction of a U.S. cent at issue, was effectively ceremonial from the start; chronic inflation meant small change rarely changed hands.
The 2011 restrike continues a pattern of periodic reissues driven by attrition rather than demand.
